Crustacea Decapoda Anomura Galatheidae Chinese waters first records

Abstract

Six galatheid species are reported for the first time from Chinese waters: Bathymunida brevirostris (Yokoya, 1933), Coralliogalathea humilis (Nobili, 1905), Crosnierita dicata Macpherson, 1998, Enriquea leviantennata (Baba, 1988), Sadayoshia acroporae Baba, 1972 and Sadayoshia edwardsii (Miers, 1884). The four genera, Bathymunida Balss, 1914, Coralliogalathea Baba & Javed, 1974, Enriquea Baba, 2005 and Sadayoshia Baba, 1969, also represent first records for Chinese waters.
